Couldn't have asked for a better set of fixtures tbh. You answered your own question, football clearly matters less to decision makers. Unreal as you say that you sit longer for a cricket match but it's less of a risk??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and think it would apply to all teams in the short term. Clubs need to look after number one here. Home fans only until such a time that stadia can get back to normal, whatever that will look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to look at the bigger picture. I could tweak your question and ask if you'd be happy if 300 Hearts fans were allowed into Easter Road at the expense of 300 Hibs fans.

Saint Jambo Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Three of last seasons top four in the first five games is a hard start. It has the potential to go either way. With those being our home games, there are no early fixtures I'm looking at and thinking that should be a total gimme. If we get off to a bad start we could look in trouble after the first few weeks. At the same time, if we can go on a wee unbeaten run in those fixtures we can really build enthusiasm. The early weeks of the season were already likely to be important given the feelings about Neilson. I'd say they've just become even more so. Maybe puts to bed the idea that with the transfer window open until the end of August, it doesn't really matter if we don't get signings in until towards the end of the window. 6 minutes ago, neilnunb said: Could Hibs have picked a better opening set of fixtures? 🙄 Yes, that stood out to me. Doesn't seem uncommon either. Expect another season of pundits being super excited at the end of August about how we have to consider Hibs title contenders.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 A difficult start but a chance to see how we approach playing the top teams and the relegation threatened teams in the first two weeks. We need to come out firing and show we mean business by not sitting back in the first fixture and going to Paisley with the full intention of winning and giving confidence to the team on our travels.

Could get them at Tynecastle, though. Hearts v. Dundee Utd is my feeling then Celtic away. First derby isn't usually until October which, theoretically, would be at Tynecastle with the ER return on Jan 1/2. All guess work, of course, and probably way off the mark. 😊 Got a few right there 👍🏽👏🏾 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
